"#DukeEnergy is asking utility regulators in #Florida to approve the recovery of around $1.1 billion in “direct costs” from the utility’s massive response to major #hurricanes in 2024.

Earlier this month, the Florida Public Service Commission granted Florida Power & Light’s request to recover $1.2 billion in storm recovery costs tied to hurricanes Debby, Helene, and Milton."

Tell me again how climate action is so "expensive".

Still no power so posting is limited . Not much for #DukeEnergy public relations ATM.They are both dropping the ball and not scaling well wrt magnitude. If your engineering focus is critical infrastructure (messaging gets this right) with residences one switch away from critical infrastructure(say, in between a pumping station and Fire Rescue) you basically had resources deployed at both ends of one block do restores but left folks on the street in between in the dark.

Update from Duke Energy: 😖

Nearly all our customers in Upstate South Carolina lost power due to Helene. About half of these outages will require a major reconstruction effort. Thousands of crews are working in the area, including those that are repairing and rebuilding the transmission lines and substations in remote areas that send electricity to the distribution lines serving homes and businesses. #SouthCarolina #DukeEnergy #Helene #PowerOutage

The #DepartmentOfDefense (#DoD) announced a “first-of-its-kind partnership” with #DukeEnergy today to power five military installations in North and South Carolina with clean electricity.
DoD will exclusively purchase 100% of the power from the 135-megawatt #solarfarm in #SouthCarolina. The $248 million contract will provide an estimated 4.8 million megawatt hours of clean power over 15 years. The partnership is expected to be online by September 2026. electrek.co/2024/06/18/militar #solar
